\u0022I knew if I got the opportunity, I could do something with it. I never want to let anybody down.\u0022

When Terry Williams stepped in as the Ottawa Redblacks’ primary kickoff and punt returner this season, he was replacing the league’s best — DeVonte Dedmon.

Of course, it’s not a solo effort. Full credit to those around him and the wizardry of special teams co-ordinator Bob Dyce, maybe the league’s best at what he does. It takes all 12 of them to be successful as a return unit, I’m proud of the way those guys work. They’re fighting and making the blocks and Terry gives them the belief if they give him an opportunity, he’s going to make the most of it.”Article content“I’ve always believed in myself; I thought if I got the opportunity, I could take advantage of it,” said Williams. “Every step of the way, I heard I was too short — from middle school to high school to college. It’s up to you how you use that.

There’s a chance — maybe even a good one — Dedmon returns to Ottawa; he was released by the Dolphins early Tuesday. Dedmon will likely keep his NFL options open — at least through the end of the month. But if he decides to return to the CFL, he will be under contract to the Redblacks, with a contract extension through 2022. It’s hard to ignore what Dedmon did in 2021.
